Thanks! These steps would still be executed, the differences would come afterwards really. In the case of a SPA, most would only happen once (on initial load), the trade-off being that those steps will likely take longer because there are more assets to load up-front. But the last couple of steps will execute every time the DOM is updated (e.g. navigating to a new 'page') as the layout will need to be recalculated and repainted each time.

Make sense, thanks.
